3) Run rep_main.do
4) Run sample_timeline.R, plot_effect_timeline.R, and "google trends blm.R"

SEE THE Index SHEET IN reference_sheets.xlsx FOR AN INDEX LINKING FIGURES/TABLES IN THE TEXT TO FILES PRODUCED BY THIS PACKAGE AND THE PROGRAMS THAT PRODUCE THEM

SEE THE Inputs SHEET IN reference_sheets.xlsx FOR A DESCRIPTION OF THE INPUT FILES INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE
NOTE: Some input files are labeled as intermediate. These files are based on large raw datasets that we did not include with the replication
package. The programs used to make these files are included in this replication package but will not run.
